lol it's only gonna be polished one more time and then in a week or two it's getting put away for the winter.

thanks for the spot linwood. i'm gonna have to do a crash course in preparation with the little time that i have heh...i had flag football this morning and i've got softball at 2:30. it'll feel like college cramming all over again. :D

Thanks to everyone who participated in the live draft....For those of you who did auto-draft...it looks like your teams did well.
Please have your lineups set by tip-off time.

IF YOU FAIL TO SET YOUR LINE-UPS IN THE FIRST WEEK YOU WILL BE CONSIDERED MIA. PM me to tell me why your line-ups were not set (i.e. didn't want to play a certain player or was on a trip in Africa).

The league requires you to participate for it to be fun for everyone so if I see deadbeats, I will give your team to someone else.

Yeah. And another thing. Now that we rollin'.

When you wrote in your own cyberblood as a binding contract to your fellow GMs "I promise not to quit" this is what you REALLYmeant.

1. You swore to set your lineups before game time. Daily, weekly however you do it. Just do it.
2. You swore to replace season-ending injured players instead of playing them.
3. You swore to read and/or post in the Novice League Threads (Novice League News and Novice League Banter) during the Fantasy Basketball Season.

If all of us Novice GM's do these 3 things, our league will be both fun and fair.
Participation. Participation. Participation.

I noticed that it's quite difficult to put your players in the line-up (for instance, if ALL of your centers play and also too many others so that you can't put them in the "Util" status)- but it's going to work.
Please excuse me if there are any mistakes with my line-ups (I didn't add Kwame Brown yesterday because he's injured anyway), I blame it on my rookie status

Don't worry Ralphi. People are going to make mistakes. Nobody cares about that.

Aurora is referring to people who give up. Hopefully, we don't need to deal with it this year, but my understanding is that Slippy is going to use the molasses treatment on them. I.E. a very short leash and low tolerance for sandbaggers.
